Tourette?s syndrome (TS) is a neuro-behavioral disease associated by phonic and motor tics with a high frequency of psychiatric co-morbidities. For these cases, deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a developing neuro-modulated treatment option since the first report on a successful surgery in 1999. A male thirty-one years old (77 kg, 178 cm) with diagnosis of Gilles De La Tourette syndrome admitted to neurosurgery ward. His medication included Aripiprazole, pimozide, buspirone, clomipramine, citalopram, phenytoin, Desmopressin and Lithium. The patient underwent implanting DBS (Deep Brain Stimulator) surgery and battery implantation in two steps with two weeks interval. General anesthesia with considerations and according to behavior of disease and drug interactions was performed. The cause and symptoms may be due to central dopaminergic hyperactivity or anomalous dopamine neurotransmission and interventions and anesthesia should be done considering these abnormalities.
